Hip dysplasia in children is the subject of careful study by specialists both in our country and abroad. There are three basic variants of hip dysplasia: congenital acetabular dysplasia, congenital subluxation of the hip and congenital dislocation of the hip. However, treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip, which is the most severe form of hip dysplasia in children, currently remains one of the topical problems of children’s orthopedics, despite the significant achievements of modern medicine. In spite of the large amount of research in this field, treatment principles of hip dysplasia are still under discussion.

A new classification is proposed for post-reduction necrosis of the femoral epiphysis based on retrospective analysis of 54 cases with a mean follow-up of 15 years. Necrosis can be divided under two main headings: A) partial, involving only the epiphysis B) total, involving the metaphyseal cartilage. Four total forms have been identified: B1: eventually resulting in coxa valga B2: eventually resulting in a short stubby neck, oval head and coxa magna B3: eventually resulting in coxa vara and severe acetabular dysplasia B4: eventually resulting in hypoplasia of the whole hip joint. This classification system comprises all the aspects of necrosis, while at the same time providing guidelines for treatment and long-term planning.
